Narrated ‘Ali bin Abi Talib

One night Allah’s Apostle came to me and Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet and asked, ‘Won’t you pray (at night)?’ I said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Our souls are in the hands of Allah and if He wants us to get up He will make us get up.’ When I said that, he left us without saying anything and I heard that he was hitting his thigh and saying, ‘But man is more quarrelsome than anything.’ (18.54)
